[Mr. Tibbs]

The Dark Mod was featured in the latest issue of PC Gamer U.K., with the feature highlighting a few standout missions for people to try.

Almost weird how much coverage we get from PC Gamer... But also cool, obviously!

[demagogue]

Like most places, if there's a champion for a project or idea, it gets a lot more attention.

Somebody there really likes us and brings us up at staff meetings (...is my bet.)

Our sneaky guy, so sneaky we don't even know who he is, the good taffer :D

I wonder how long it'll be before the game companies start tracking down the best authors & offering jobs, if it hasn't happened already

 

I believe it happened on TTLG

 

Don't forget us when you're rich & famous

I believe it happened on TTLG

Yup, Digital nightfall I believe built one or more of the levels in Death of the Outsider. Some of the guards and characters have the names of a few of the ttlg forum members.

Oh!

 

It's why they're so adorable (I love the Mine! It's one of the best levels ever seen IHMO - so much fitting atmosphere! A pure visual and exploration delight!)

Dram.

Didn't Purah get headhunted by a games company for his work on fan missions ?

Nice article, but another misquoting of TDM's name in the title, no mention of stellar missions like Requiem, and the rather bizarre insinuation that you have to download the tutorial mission. We need to get someone in the comments there, ASAP, and do damage control. The base pack, at the very least, has the tutorial and those two story missions. No downloads needed. Couldn't the author get at least that right ?

Maybe he started downloading missions without checking for anything first and after that it's basically impossible to recognize the missions that came as a default. Again I recommend to rename them to something more obvious to make them appear at the top of the list!

Starting to get some 2.06 coverage:

DSO gaming has revised our build version to 2.4 rather than 2.06. I guess that's fair since it's a pretty big change in tech:

Every other site lists it as 2.06, so to be fair why can't they?

LOL I was joking about their incorrect version number.

 

They probably just guessed based on the last build they saw in google.

Just had a quick look through it, they talk about TDM at 39:05 but it’s quite brief.

Review from another youtuber I follow:

Damn, pity he didn't switch to 2.06 to show off all the soft shadow goodness

[Oktokolo]

And he showed some pretty nasty LOD pop-ins.
